Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup prepared ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce (or similar hot sauce)
- 1 (10 ounce) can canned chicken, drained and flaked
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese into the basin of a small slow cooker.
- Pour the ranch dressing and hot sauce over the cream cheese.
- Stir the mixture until the cream cheese is mostly melted and combined with the liquids.
- Fold in the drained, flaked chicken and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese and blue cheese dressing.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 hours or on HIGH for 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
- Once heated through and creamy, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and the blue cheese crumbles (if using) on top.
- Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot directly from the slow cooker with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for dipping.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, use less ranch dressing or add an extra ounce of cream cheese.
- If you do not have blue cheese dressing, substitute with more ranch dressing.
- Keep the slow cooker on the ‘Keep Warm’ setting during your gathering to maintain the hot dip for a crowd.
